Lunar eclipses are always interesting, though the "blood moon" is a much rarer event. Instead of a total eclipse, the moon is bathed in a red-orange hue of refracted light coming from around Earth. For many ancient civilisations (Inca, Indian, Native American, Islamic and more) the “blood moon” came with evil intent. For Christians, eclipse means the wrath of God and Jesus cruxifiction. It is notable that Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring, ensuring that an eclipse can never fall on Easter Sunday, a potential mark of Judgement Day. The infamous witch-finding manual "Malleus Maleficarum" published in 1486 notes that "The stars can influence the devils themselves... Certain men who are called lunatics are molested by devils more at one time than at another; and the devils... would rather molest them at all times, unless they themselves were deeply affected by certain phases of the moon."
